Unfortunately his behavior continued on set. Creepy dude.

But his character wasn't meant to be creepy, and I need to remember that from time to time.

My opinions: Was he called out for exposing himself and being incredibly inappropriate? Yes.

Has he apologized and faced consequences? Yes, multiple times, but maybe not enough for some.

Is he a sexual predator? Probably Not.
